They didn't kill, just cast people into the past?

"Blink" was a properly scary old fashioned Dr Who episode, which was so popular that they felt they had to bring the Weeping Angels back. Then they didn't know what to do with them, in a series a rubbish storylines.

Re: New Year's Eve Special
SPOILERS BELOW
SPOILERS BELOW
Loved the Groundhog Day thing, wonderfully executed for the most part....but I don't understand how they didn't "win" once Jeff tricked the two into shooting each other.
Pacing wise, it kind of ruined the rest of the episode. You go from the highest high, to the "let's work together and smash these mo-fos," to the plan all going wrong.
Then it got confusing with the plan they made not being a plan aspect.
The comedy was sharp, (loved the "Ex-Terminated!" line, along with "my friend said 'weirdoes with good hearts are keepers,'") and at least the ending was awesome.

Doctor Who: Ncuti Gatwa to replace Jodie Whittaker, BBC announces
My teenage children are very excited by this and it will likely draw them back to the show.

Yeah, I've not seen this 'Sex Education' thing either but it (and he) seems to have had rave reviews. You do need a talented serious actor in the role, because pretending to be a 600-year-old alien who travels through space and time to battle monsters could seem, well, a little silly if played too much as a pantomime.

Hearne made it known he wanted to play the part in character, not as an actor playing the Doctor

I've reached the point that when it upsets chickeneyed scum like Grimes then I am unequivocally for the casting decision.

I just attempted to explain to my wife why (probably due to nostalgia for the book version I took out from Purley library when an impressionable scamp) The Three Doctors is gold, and got short shrift.
She then wondered if a human shaped alien was really the Doctor's true form, adopted to make we Earth folk feel more at ease. Her exact words were, "In reality he could look like a chair."
I decided discretion was the better part of valour and immediately withdrew to the safety of the kitchen.

Maybe this is a good time for me to try to get into it.
I thought maybe he was the youngest Doctor, but he’s actually the second youngest behind Matt Smith. 27 vs 30. So Matt Smith is about five years younger than I would have guessed and Gatwa is about five years older than I would have guessed.

One of the tabloids had a story about David Tennant's Doctor and Donna Noble coming back for a once off episode. This is the same Donna Noble who had to have her memories erased, and would die if she remembered the Doctor.

New assistant, I might have to start watching again. Hoping some of the 'anti-woke' fuckers actually explode when they see this.

An hour to go. I feel that her and the previous never got enough of a go at being the doctor. If you're only doing a couple of episodes a year then every one has to be a banger.
Although, I'd be quite happy to forget about the Doctor being the original immortal, gallifreyan, and the CIA stuff.

I loved that! DAVID FUCKING TENNANT!
Anyone who wants new monsters or villains every single episode to be defeated with slightly different ear shapes or wrinkles on their heads, please fuck off and stick to Star Trek: Airport Lounge or other similarly thinly-vieled xenophobia.Last edited by Rogin the Armchair fan; 23-10-2022, 20:16.
